About this Event

Hey foodies 🥘

Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.

This is our 20's edition!

Each week is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy or other reservation platforms. The pin 📍 on the map is not the location but a placeholder since each location changes week to week.

This micro-event is intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message regarding age, interest, and favorite foods. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the night of the dinner. Expect a Final Details email the day of.

Please try your best to register weeks in advance, if possible.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket supports our team's endeavors as well as The Comeunity Project initiative (see below).

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not dating gatherings. 🧍‍♂️ 🧍‍♀️

*If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reach our maximum for the night, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Simply email [email protected] for info prior to signing up.


Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect :) We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human. 🤖

If you have any more questions, please contact [email protected]!

Testimonials:

"It was so great! I will share pictures of food and if you need anywhere to share the experience! You did it better than AI! All of us were from different parts of the world, somehow having similar interests even though the age was different. Super cozy and friendly and amazing. We had one birthday (Persephone) so we gave her a cake!Thanks for hosting and looking forward to more events!" -Korina from Munich

"Hey, just wanted to give an update months later. I ended up forming a long term friend from this event and am very grateful. Thank you for helping set it up!" - Daritza from Austin

“It was a great event, Erman - thanks -- great group, friendly environment, and a really good way to be introduced to people.... “ - Ron from NYC, dinner with creatives edition

“The organizers did a great job coordinating this event. It was a great selection of people, good vibes all around, and such a fun time. Perfect if you’re looking to connect and make new friends!” -Eden from Los Angeles

“I went in not knowing what to expect, but this ended up being such a great experience. The group was fun and easy to connect with, and the overall vibe felt very natural, not forced or awkward at all. We had great conversations, lots of laughs, and I genuinely enjoyed meeting everyone. We’ve even stayed in touch and plan to meet up again, which says a lot. Would absolutely do this again.” -Claudia from Miami
